Liverpool's injury crisis appears to be easing with four players - strikers Divock Origi and Daniel Sturridge, playmaker Philippe Coutinho and defender Martin Skrtel - due back in full training this week.

That is partly why Klopp was not particularly keen on pushing through transfer window deals once Shakhtar Donetsk rejected their £24million offer for forward Alex Teixeira.

"Martin needs two or three days' more time. Divock and Phil and maybe Daniel should return to training - I think Daniel on Wednesday and the other two guys on Thursday," he added.

"Martin, I think, [will train] at the weekend so these are all new transfers and that change is good for us."

The form of midfielder Joe Allen, who has had a resurgence in January having been a bit-part player, is also a significant boost for the German.

"For me Joe Allen was always a first-team player, hopefully it was not a misunderstanding when he was not in the line-up a few times," he said.

"A few months back when I first arrived he was not here as he was with the national team and before that he was injured.

"There was no doubt about his quality but he was not 100 per cent in shape and now he is.

"That is the best news. It is the next transfer for us. I like his style and he is very important for us so we have another new player now he has shown what he can do.

"I see it is really good to have him here so I wouldn't say it was a good possibility to show how it is when you come in (to the team).
